Simone Mckenzie-Slaven Barely Survived Breast Implants

March is Breast Implant Illness Awareness Month.
Yes this is a real thing.
I know. Because this is what I had.
Yet no doctor would believe me.
No doctor would believe that my implants were making me sick.
Instead of looking for a cause as to why I was experiencing:
Arthritis
Chronic Fatigue
Anxiety
Heart palpitations
Loss of vision
Depression
Internal tremors
Parasites
Weight loss
Dizziness
Numbness in fingers
Food sensitivities
They prescribed immune suppressing self administered injections weekly and told me to take anti depressants.
You see, medically on paper, I was a picture of health.
There was nothing that would come up on countless blood tests, MRI’s, ECG, stress tests, X-rays, ultrasounds.
This illness all happens internally.
I was “the healthiest looking sick person”.
And I was healthy.
I eliminated gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar from my diet.
I juiced
I made my own kombucha
I made my own bone broth
I read everything on health I could find
I took over 20 supplements a day
But I just couldn’t get better.
I had to quit my job, I could no longer drive. My kids had to stop after school activities as I couldn’t get them there.
I was a recluse in my own home.
Too hyper sensitive to noise and people.
My naturopath discovered an illness and he thought that my implants were the source of my troubles.
I had them scanned.
They were not leaking. So it can’t be them.
But it was.
I had them removed 18 months ago.
After I visited 3 surgeons, and 1 of them said if I left them in they would kill me.
The other 2 were more concerned with my appearance.
It hasn’t been an easy 18 month recovery.
I think the 8 years of medicated injections have taken their toll.
I struggle with permanent damage from the arthritis in my foot.
And still deal with some sort of pain daily.
My system is extremely sensitive still.
And if there is a new pain or symptom I fear the worst, and immediately think everything is coming back.
I am not a rare case.
This is happening to tens of thousands of women world wide.
This does not discriminate.
It does not matter whether you have silicone or saline.
Whether you have a rupture or not.
It is simply your body reacting to something foreign and trying to destroy it. Which in turn destroys you.
